Day 22 of Protective Edge: Hamas Still in the Game

Rocket salvos overnight failed to kill anyone but scratched Israeli pride, forcing hundreds of thousands into shelters in Tel Aviv and the main population centers on the central coastal plain, and reaching northward almost to Haifa.

The IDF attacked about 150 targets overnight – a much larger number than it has attacked on an average night in Operation Protective Edge. The targets included terror headquarters as well as the homes of Hamas leader in Gaza, Ismail Haniyeh, and of the Sejaiya Battalion commander.
